Letters Patent No. 113,637, dated April 11, 1871.

IMPROVEMENT' IN STALLS FCR HORSES.

The Schedule referred to in these'Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL M. Dnmson, of Savannah, in the county of Chatham and State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in'Stalls for Horses; and I do hereby declare that the following is arfull', clear, and exact description thereof', which will enable Aothers skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.

'lhis invention relates to improvements in stalls for horses; and

It`consists in two or morestalls, having sides of .which may be placed on the ground or `door without other support, and the sides and ends are to be detachably connected together, so that they may be readily set up or taken down.v

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved stall, and o Figure 2 is a plan view.Y

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding part-s.

The sides A of the stalls are mane in panels of boards B, slats C, and posts D, attached together permanently, and providedwith holes at the ends for'the tenons E of crossfpieces F for connecting them at the head, said tenons being made oblique to the longitudinal axis of the said pieces to admit of the sides diverging from each other rearward, as shown in iig. 2, and they are itted so as to be readily detached. The said cross-pieces may be connected to the sides by any other suitable means.

I make a permanent rack, G, between the two upper cross-pieces F, and below it a pivotedl one, H, the latter' being to afford ready access for supplying or removing feed, and below this I arrange a door, I, pivoted at the top, and forming, together with the oblique board K, the feed-trough.

This board K rests at the lower edge on the lower cross-piece, and is provided vwith a tenon, L, at each end of the upper'edge for entering the boards B of the sides for its support, and for bracing the sides of the stall.

lhese stalls aiord ready access to the animals for feeding without the attendant beingrequired to gc inside'. They may be made very cheaply, and vdo notobstruct the circulation ot' air.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl Y i The sides A, cross-pieces F, xed rack G, pivo'ted rack H, swinging door I, and oblique board K, all combined and arranged for the purpose of forming `alternately-reversed stalls, as specified.,

DANIEL M. DENISON.
